Cavalero Beach - June 14, 2010

With the completion of monitoring for 2010, Camano Beach Watchers took the time to begin evaluation of data collection. You can find a set of comparisons in CHARTS that are linked at the bottom of the main Intertidal Zone webpage. Take a look at what collected data says about our species gains/losses on our shorelines. Then enjoy the pictures below from this year's monitoring.

This monitoring team worked very hard to find critters in and under the green seaweed covering most of the beach. Their species list when completed was impressive.

Careful looking!


Special thanks to the leader of this team, Cathy M. who also has done the huge work of putting all the species data into the database.
